Why Oh Why

Why is it, in this day and age of everyone having a high-zoot camera in their phone and a superduper monitor on their computer, that I cannot find a simple screensaver of spinning/tumbling laundry?

Wash or dry, either one will do.

(This was prompted by an appliance-store ad on TV that showed row upon row of every kind of appliance-with-glass: microwaves, TVs, washers, monitors, dryers, which made me realize the high-definition dryer door was well overdue; and if it is, the opposite -- a monitor that pretends to be a dryer -- is even more so.)

I'm waiting for a high-definition window. I mean, they've been showing off transparent computer monitors at CES for the last couple of years already, when are we going to see them in real world applications?

"I saw to what extent the people among whom I lived could be trusted as good neighbors and friends; that their friendship was for summer weather only; that they did not greatly propose to do right; that they were a distinct race from me by their prejudices and superstitions."
